Title: Improvements in and relating to Traps for Pigeons and the like.
Inventor: BULMAN ROBERT DONALD
Filed: 1908-10-05
Granted: 1909-09-02
Abstract: 20,977. Bulman, R. D. Oct. 5. Traps; pigeon houses.-A trap for pigeons &c. is provided with let-boards to prevent the ingress of cats &c. The let-boards a are pivoted and adjustably weighted to support a pigeon &c., which enters the trap by pushing up the hanging wires d. If one of the boards a is depressed by a heavier animal, the weight-arm c, engages and turns the cranked wire e, bringing the central part up behind the wires d. which are thus locked. A spring e<1> restores the cranked wire. The hanging wires d at the rear of the trap swing freely, but may be prevented from opening outwards by inserting a rod h. The pigeons are removed through a door f, which is counterbalanced when open by a board g, which closes the doorway if the door f is depressed by a heavy animal. The roof may be covered with zinc &c.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Capsules for Bottles.
Inventor: WILSON JOHN HERBERT
Filed: 1908-10-07
Granted: 1909-02-18
Abstract: 21,141. Wilson, J. H. Oct. 7. Capsules and the like.-Bottle closures are provided with metal capsules which are so indented that removal of the closures or attempted replacement of the capsules is at once apparent. A threaded metal capsule 1, Fig. 1, is placed on a bottle neck with recesses 2, into which the capsule is pressed and branded with some device. The recesses are made by wholly or partly interrupting some of the screw-threads 4. The top of the capsule may have an aperture 14, Fig. 4, for the withdrawal of the cork, but the edge of the capsule is stamped to show if the cork has been removed. In a modification, the screw-threads are omitted, but the recesses are retained. In another modification, the cork is replaced by a disk 17<a>, Fig. 8, retained by a steel threaded capsule 33 covered by the special capsule 1. The capsules are provided with tearing-tongues 34, Fig. 9, or with tearing- wires 23, Fig. 1, the latter having a loop 24 for the insertion of a tool. The invention is applicable to the bottles described in Specifications Nos. 21,137 and 21,138, A.D. 1908. Specification No. 5448, A.D. 1907, is also referred to.
Patent GB-190828018-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Motor Propelled Road Vehicles.
Filed: 1908-12-23
Granted: 1909-10-07
Abstract: 28,018. Tracy, J. W., and Hedgeland & Co. Dec. 23. Motor road vehicles.-A modified form of the apparatus described in Specifications No. 1149, A.D. 1905, No. 10,496, A.D. 1906, and No. 13,611, A.D. 1907, for enabling one road wheel to overrun the driving-axle when rounding a curve, is applied to each end of an undivided axle, and also is arranged so that one wheel only can run freely at a time. Fig. 1 shows the apparatus applied to one end of an undivided driving-axle mounted directly in bearings inside the fixed axle. The reduced portion b of the driving-axle a runs in a bearing on the wheel hub c, while a still smaller squared portion carries a multiple-threaded collar d, which engages a similarly threaded nut e having a double wedge-shaped outer edge. This wedgeshaped edge is mounted in proximity to a double wedge-shaped groove in a member h formed integral with, or bolted to, the wheel hub. When the shaft a is driven by the motor, the rotation of the nut e is retarded by a friction ring g, and the nut consequently moves longitudinally until the edge engages one of the wedge-shaped surfaces of the groove, thereby driving the wheel directly from the motor. When the wheel overruns the axle, the nut e is moved relatively to the collar d until the wedge-shaped surfaces no longer engage, and the wheel consequently runs free. To enable the motor to be used as a brake at all periods during the running of the vehicle, the wheels are prevented from both running free at the same time. For this purpose the nuts e are connected by arms or spider frames n to adjustable collars p mounted on a longitudinally movable shaft l passing through the centre of the driving-shaft. When both wheels overrun the driving-shaft, the shaft l moves longitudinally, and the nuts e are each moved in the same direction until their opposite wedge-shaped surfaces engage the wheel hubs. When one wheel only overruns the axle, the shaft l is immovable but the corresponding arm n moves between the flanges of the collar p, which are adjusted so as to prevent the engagement of the opposite wedge-shaped surface of the nut with the wheel hubs. A modified form of apparatus is shown for driving-axles that are mounted loosely with the fixed axle, the wheel hubs being supported by bearings on the fixed axle. In this case, the double conical groove is formed partly on the wheel hub and partly on a separate ring bolted thereto.

The latch bolt D is pivoted to the outer frame plate A at i, and is shot by a spring I acting against an arm j. The arm j is pivoted to a plate J which is connected to the ceiling by a link K, the parts thus forming a parallel motion. The plate J is formed with two cam-slots L, M, which co-operate with pins p, m on the levers Q, O, secured to the outside and inside knobs respectively. By rotating with a knob, the plate J is moved and the bolt withdrawn. A pin x, operated from the edge of the door, can be engaged with a hole in the lever Q to block the outside knob. Pivoted to the lever Q is a second lever R, with a pin s engaging the slot L in the plate J, and forming the complementary part of the pin p. The other end of the lever R has a wedge-piece Z which co-operates with a push-piece U within the outside knob so that, from the outside, the latch can also be withdrawn by pushing the piece U. The outer and inner frame plates A, B are secured together by lugs a, b, c, d, which interlock and are held by hollow screws E, through which are adapted to pass the wood-screws F for securing the latch on the door. The adjustable rim plate G, under the control of springs H, has a flange g which extends over the front corner of the inner plate to conceal the joint at the forward end of the plate.

Title: Improvements in and relating to a Method of and Machine for Making Perforated Music Sheets or Rolls.
Inventor: DAVIS GEORGE HOWLETT
IPC: B21D53/82
Filed: 1910-06-28
Granted: 1911-03-02
Abstract: 15,487. Davis, G. H. June 28. Selective punching - machines.-In making music sheets from a pattern A, a master B is first made by passing the pattern A through the selecting-mechanism of a perforating-machine, one of the selector elements 16 (say the central one) being arranged to control the outermost of the gang of punches 9, instead of the central one. The master B thus has a central blank zone, the perforations f, Fig. 6, which should be in this zone being transposed to the edge of the sheet. Equidistant rack-holes d are punched in this central zone, the central punch being locked periodically by pins 79 on a hub on an intermittently-rotated shaft 76. The pins 79 engage the armature 30<b> controlling the corresponding punch-locking dog. A record is then made from the master B by passing the master through the selecting-mechanism, the contact roller in this case having pins for engaging the rackholes d; the pins 79 are removed, and the outermost selector element is arranged to control the central punch, so that in the record the perforations fare re-transposed to their original pcsition e, Fig. 7. In a modification, instead of transposing the central row of perforations to the edge, a central rack-hole zone c, Fig. 2, is obtained by shifting laterally all the rows b of perforations on one side of this zone. This is effected by cutting out of circuit one of the punch-controlling magnets 30<a>, and shifting the circuit connexions of all the magnets on one side of the magnet cut out, at least one punchspace laterally. In punching a record from the master, the reverse transposition is effected. In the machine shown, the punches 9 are locked by dogs 8, operated by armatures 5 and wires 7, to a punch-block 10 reciprocated in any suitable manner. The armatures 5 are pivoted upon U-shaped frames 4, and are normally held away from the magnets by springs 6. The selector fingers 16 are mounted on a rail 15 and bear upon a contact bar or roller 17 in circuit with electro-magnets 3, 3<a>. Specification 17,453/00 is referred to.

Abstract: 18,636. Gatwood, W. Aug. 8. Buffers are constructed so as to have a longer stroke than usual, and where the plunger is made with a central shank the case is made in two or more pieces of pressed steel. The central shank of the plunger is guided by a bell-shaped washer f, also of pressed steel, made from one, two, or more pieces, and secured by shrinking on a ring e or otherwise, Fig. 1. In one form, the shank is made short and does not penetrate the base-plate. Instead of using a nut, the outward movement may be limited by an ingegral collar in conjunction with a split washer at the base-plate as described in Specification 16,037/09. In the case of buffers without a central shank the sleeve is of two diameters and in two or more pieces. In each buffer there may be employed two springs of different strengths, the inner one being of metal, Fig. 13, or india-rubber, Fig. 14. The motion of the outer spring may be limited by the abutment of the shoulder a<2> with the flange b<2>, Fig. 13, or c<2>, Fig. 14, and that of the inner spring by the abutment of one of the washers against the base-plate.

Abstract: 27,190. Jones, H. Sefton-, [Rogens Addresser Co.]. Dec. 14, 1909. Ink-ribbon mechanism.-In an addressing- machine, particularly of the kind described in Specifications 28,651/07 and 29,241/09, [Class 100 (ii), Printing processes &c.], the inking is accomplished by an inking-ribbon mounted on two spring rollers R<1>, R<2> arranged at opposite sides of the point of impression. In each roller are mounted several springs, the casings of which are so coupled to the following springs that the springs act in series, and allow a large number of rotations to the rollers. Gearing may also be used in the rollers to this end if desired. The springs in the roller R<1> are stronger than those in the roller R<2>, but a ratchet-wheel r<Î> and pawl r<7> normally prevent the roller R' from winding-up the ribbon. Each time a printing-plate passes between the pressure-rolls, the ink-ribbon is so tightly nipped between the plate and the paper or envelope that it is partly unwound from the roller R', and the slack is taken up by the roller R<2>. At suitable times, preferably automatically by a lever r<29> released when a full address - plate drawer is exchanged for a fresh one, the pawl r<7> is lifted by the catch r<26>, and releases the wheel r<Î>, and the ribbon is rewound.

Pulp, preparation of.-In a process for the manufacture of cellulose from green pine wood, fir, poplar, aspen, and other woods,straw, hemp, grasses,&c., advantage is taken of the fact that the use of solutions containing free ammonia enable a high pressure to be obtained at a comparatively low temperature. Ammonia is added to ordinary lye, or to calcium bisulphite lye in which case calcium monosulphite is precipitated and removed leaving ammonium sulphite and excess of ammonia. Ammonium salts and lime to free the ammonia may be used. Lyes containing little or no sulphurous acid may be regenerated by introducing sulphurous acid until slightly acid, and may be again used with ammonia, and after this second use may be further utilized for the treatment of straw before the ammonia and other valuable substances are recovered. In carrying out the process, the boiler K<1> is filled with wood and soda lye containing ammonia, and the pressure raised to 10-12 atmospheres, the cocks 3, 1, and 8 being closed. When the heating is completed, the free ammonia is driven off through the cooler C and absorbed in the tank A containing preferably cold water. The lye is then driven through the pipe b into the regenerator R' with the aid of a pump if necessary. Aqueous or gaseous sulphurous acid is introduced through the pipe c and the precipitates collect at the bottom. The clear solution from the vessel R<1> and the absorbed ammonia from the tank A are run into the boiler K<2>, and a second lot of wood is treated therein. After heating, the ammonia is driven off and absorbed in the tank A, and the lye is pumped into the regenerator R<2>, where the combined ammonia is liberated with lime and the freed ammonia driven off by steam from a pipe g through a cooler C and the absorption tank A. The ammonia can be conducted from the tank A to the boiler K' through the pipe i. Specification 2574/65 is referred to.
